Amanda was worried that she might wake up Roman with her noise. So she stood by the door, whispering, "Astrid, Astrid."
Astrid turned around to see Amanda behind her, looking like she had something secretive to share.
She tiptoed to tuck Roman in and walked out of the room quietly, turning to Amanda and asking, "What's up?"
Amanda said, "Astrid, about the TV station incident today, I know all about it. Mandy is my friend, and I didn't know about you before, so I thought of getting a girlfriend for Elio."
Hearing this, Astrid knew that Elio must have complained to Amanda first.
She looked at Amanda and laughed, "It's cool, I'm not mad."
Amanda ignored Astrid's response and kept talking, "Over the years, I might have introduced many girls to Elio, but he hasn't even looked at a single photo! The thing about Yolande was just a misunderstanding. I left her photo at Elio's place, and his family thought he was into Yolande, so they kept the photo, and it turned into a big misunderstanding.
Yolande really likes Elio! After several years, she still couldn't find a boyfriend, so she kept waiting for Elio. Her mother is really worried, saying that Yolande has become a spinster because of Elio, and keeps talking about making Elio take responsibility. In reality, they have nothing to do with each other, don't be upset."
Astrid could tell that Amanda was truly worried, so she comforted her, "I believe what you're saying, don't worry too much."
"Astrid, how can I not worry! Elio isn't quick-witted, and he's not articulate, I worry for him watching your show." Speaking of the show, Amanda suddenly changed the subject, "By the way Astrid, you're so incredible, you can catch sharks!"
"Is snake meat tasty?"
"Is it really hot on the island?"
The conversation went off on a tangent, and Astrid could only laugh and keep chatting with Amanda.
